IIS setup a web site to be accessed without a domain name....how?
I want to setup a web site for testing without a domain name.
I have 3 web sites with domain name that are working fine.
I am working on a web site for Millhouse and they already have an existing web site with the domain name millhouse.org.au
I want to setup their new web site on my web server for testing purposes and so member of the organisation can view it (as http) to assess it.
I want to be able access it like this: 58.168.225.214:8080
But what I have done so far isn't working:
I have setup port fording in my modem with WAN and LAN ports of 8080.
And 8080 as the port in the web site settings in IIS.

Hi,
Just to recap, you want to deploy a web site with ip access for testing purpose, but you are getting an error.
The error message are related to network.
**
Notice: Your website Milhouse is stopped. click start in the right panel first.

Well, the first thing that I would like to check, is the connection between the client machine to the server.
try to ping the windows server ip: 58.168.225.214
open cmd: run:
ping 58.168.225.214
(to double check your right IIS ip, go to your IIS server and run ipconfig)
2- if you have got a successfull ping connection, I will go to double check the corresponding ports.
in this case, check 8080 port in the firewall settings in IIS server.
-open it.
-try it again.
3-try to find any success scenario.
-Change and test another different port.
-deploy a new web site for testing with a different binding.
-play with those web sites to see if you get access to any of them.
